    I've tried the search, but perhaps I just haven't had enough Espresso this morning, but I cant find the thread I'm looking for. I have a SKS key fob, new, bought from the dealer this morning (for $200 I might add) and I want to program it myself.

    Is it possible to probram a sks key fob yourself, or must the dealer do it? Seems like the dealer has to, but I can't find the thread I'm looking for. I found the instructions to program the non-sks fob.

    thanks in advance, and for your patience with me. Ooops, my expresso is ready........

    :D

    The dealer has to program it to get the SKS part to work. You could program it as a dumb fob, but that would be silly.

    From what I remember, the dealer has to do it.

    TSB EL008-04 explains how to program the Prius to recognize a new Smart fob. It is necessary to use the Toyota diagnostic laptop or hand held device. Note that there are two separate registration processes: one for the immobilizer ECU and the other for the Smart ECU.
